little cat feet

[rootofnewt]

boy pointed out to me that, while cats are only half-domesticated creatures who permit humans to convenience them, they still do some remarkably interesting things. for instance, cats who cut through our yard nearly always use the sidewalks.

when i went out to fill the bird feeders, i sat little cat foot prints in the yard-walk which goes from the front sidewalk around the house and out back to the shed. if i'd walked out, i could've figured out whether it was one of the cats who climb the fence, or the weird one who squeezes beneath the gate.

they don't walk in the grass. they use the sidewalk. so weird.

Cats are basically feral, but have a mutual accomodation thing happening with humans. A cat walking on a sidewalk may simply be looking at it as being easier or drier on the feet than schlepping through grass.
